Farah Fayyad (b. 1990) is a graphic designer and printmaker from Beirut, Lebanon. One of Fayyad’s central interests is Arabic lettering/typography and bilingual publication and exhibition design. Her practice also involves a lot of play with screen-printing, in terms of both print production and staging public live screen-printing interventions/performances. Farah is currently based between Beirut and Amsterdam.
Live screen-printing, video, and audio
A three-part installation celebrating LIMFA-14.
—
LIMFA-14 makes magic.
She resists. She shields. She advocates.
She spins her shoulders and comes alive to the scent of suffering.
She activates words created to destroy governments.
She senses misfortune and envy and can neutralise evil eyes.
She gives us totems and performs resistance.
Objects that become signifiers of allyship.
She facilitates the formation of collective bodies that protect each other, a choreography of survival.
Letters that are worn as armour, and sorcery that is kept hidden, close to the skin or in your bed.
She can sit quietly and be alone for long periods of time.
But LIMFA-14 actually loves attention, and is prone to a public flex every now and then.
-
The installation includes a short documentary film about LIMFA-14’s days as an activist in Beirut; an audio piece featuring an imagined overheard conversation she might have had with an old friend, in collaboration with Mohamed Gaber; and a participatory public performance of the craft she lives for.
